RE: i can't install flymake

Hi Peter,

I am not familiar with this function - I usually use the custom UI. I think it is the preferred method to use custom, but I am no expert... 

As for emacs, as I said the latest emacs comes with a flymake version that is not backward compatible with jde-flymake. I tried to fix the compatibility problem but my Emacs Lisp  was not up to the task.

I suggest that you:
1) Get the recommended flymake.el;
2) Use the custom UI to set the flymake-allowed-file-name-masks

jde-flymake is very useful but it is coming to the end of its life as development on the compiler it relies on, Jikes, seems to be pretty much dead - the latest version is almost two years old now. 

And Java has changed quite a lot since... It might be better to look at Suraj's interface to the Eclipse JDT compiler. Check the mailing list archives for 20-Feb-2006, "Using the Eclipse Java Compiler as a compile server"

Suraj, how is the status on your extension? Can it provide flymake-like functionality?

Regards,
  Nascif

Hi Nascif,
   I have changed to this:

(custom-set-variables 
 '(flymake-allowed-file-name-masks (quote ((".+\\.java$" flymake-jde-jikes-java-init flymake-simple-java-cleanup flymake-get-real-file-name))))
)

But when i execute M-x flymake-mode, same warning display again. i use latest emacs22, how to resolve it? thanks.

    Peter
